Dear Noah,

Thanks so much for your response. I really appreciate it. The squeeze option does not seem appealing at all. So, is this simply a matter of aesthetics then? Either full-screen or letterbox. Let me ask you this–why would someone choose letterbox? Because it helps them frame images while they are shooting or could it be for other reasons? Can you convert something into letterbox on Final Cut Pro later on, or would it have to be something you shoot in originally?

I’m so impressed with the film-like quality of 24p. Is there anything else (shutter speed, iris, etc) that can enhance this cinematic quality?
